“While American ‘gothics’ such as News Gothic (1908) have long been a mainstay of editorial settings, and European ‘humanists’ such as Frutiger (1975) have excelled in signage applications, Whitney bridges this divide in a single design. Its compact forms and broad x-height use space efficiently, and its ample counters and open shapes make it clear under any circumstances.”
